Nickel Acetate → HCID 178435672, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

The nickel acetate is added to the octaethylporphyrin solution; the mixture which results is refluxed for about 24 hours until the electronic spectrum of the reaction mixture indicates that chelation is complete. The reaction mixture is then concentrated to 7 mL and allowed to cool to room temperature of about 22°. Product which precipitates is recovered by filtration, dissolved in a mixed solvent composed of 5 mL dichloromethane and 2 mL methanol, and recrystallized, yielding Ni octaethylporphyrin.
